Abstract: A double backer (10) for curing the web bonding adhesive and drying the corrugated paperboard web (11) utilizes a web holddown apparatus for maintaining the web in intimate drying contact with the lower heating units (15) which does not require the use of a driven holddown belt. The holddown is provided instead by a series of parallel, flexible, closely spaced strips (17) suspended above the web in the heating section and extending in the direction of web travel. Supplemental holddown force may be provided by banks of spring fingers supported above and in contact with the holddown strips on a transverse support rod which may be rotated to vary the amount of supplemental holddown force. Alternately, the holddown strips may comprise continuous cables in which one run of the cables rests upon the moving web to provide the web holddown and a second run includes high friction cable portions which are movable into driving contact with the upper surface of the web to pull it through the heating section, as for initial web thread up. An embodiment is also disclosed in which the holddown strips are tied together laterally to form a more stable mat-like holddown system.

Abstract: Methanol supplied as a raw fuel is mixed with water, vaporized in an evaporator 24, and supplied to a reformer 22 as a raw fuel gas. The reformer 22 also receives a supply of the compressed air from an air tank 36. The raw fuel gas is mixed with the compressed air in the reformer 22. An oxidation reaction of methanol supplied as the raw fuel proceeds in the reformer 22 to generate hydrogen and carbon dioxide, while a steam reforming reaction of methanol simultaneously proceeds in the reformer 22 to generate hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The amount of heat required for the endothermic reforming reaction can be supplied by the oxidation reaction of methanol. No external heat source is accordingly required in the reformer 22 to supply the heat required for the reforming reaction.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a digital data error correcting apparatus in which an error correction capability can be considerably improved in a digital signal transmission system when a digital modulation code is decoded. In a minimum distance decoding method, when a plurality of reference samples having equal minimum Hamming distance relative to a digital modulation code exist, on the basis of the probability that an error will occur in the respective bits, respective bits are weighted, and a reference sample having the minimum distance from the input sample is selected from a plurality of reference samples to thereby correct an error. Further, the present invention is directed to a digital sync. detection apparatus in which an ability for detecting a sync. pattern can be considerably improved without degrading the probability that a pseudo-sync. signal will occur. A detection interval of a predetermined cycle is set in a sync. pattern of a predetermined cycle whose Hamming distance between it and a digital modulation code is larger than k by a detection window signal generator circuit (40), and (k -1) bit error of the sync. pattern can be corrected during this detection interval.

Abstract: An imaging device for generating an image
signal includes an image sensing device for producing
an image signal subject to one or more clock signals
and means for generating one or more of the clock
signals, wherein the clock signal generating means is
responsive to a programmable input signal for adjusting
a duty cycle of at least one of the clock signals. In
particular, by clocking two recirculating shift
registers out of phase and parallel loading them with a
programmable bit pattern to produce the output clock
signals, the frequency of an input clock that is
required to produce the output clock signals can be
reduced by half.

Abstract: A line beam is irradiated such that edge lines of the beam extend in a direction at an angle of 45° with respect to the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. As a result, a laser defective crystallization region R' where the grain size has not become sufficiently large due to unevenness in intensity of the line beam passes at 45° across the carrier path connecting source and drain regions S and D to each other. The defective crystallization region R' thus does not completely divide between the contact region CT, i.e., the carrier path between the source and drain regions. Therefore, a carrier path CP can be securely maintained without passing through the defective crystallization region R', so that the ON-current is prevented from being reduced. Deterioration or unevenness in transistor characteristics caused by unevenness in intensity of laser irradiation can thus be prevented.

Abstract: A method to reduce the rate of interrupts by the central
processing unit (CPU) without any loss of interrupts. The
method uses two parameters. The first parameter sets the
event threshold, which is the maximum value of consecutive
events allowed to occur, for example, the maximum number of
received data packets before an interrupt is posted (for
example, a receive interrupt) to the CPU. The second
parameter sets the event time-out time, which is the
maximum time an event can be pending before posting an
interrupt to the CPU. The second parameter is needed since
the flow of events in the system is unpredictable and
without the time-out limit, handling of the event can be
delayed indefinitely.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mechanism for ejecting a compressed bales of waste-material from a compaction chamber (1) of a baling press. The chamber comprises a floor (5) and side walls (2,3,4) and an opening at the front through which a bale may be ejected. The ejection system comprises a carriage member (6) moveable along a guide formed in the floor (5) from the rear of the chamber. An ejector plate (8) is mounted on the carriage member (6) and moves with it. The carriage member (6) is incrementally moved forward along the guide by a linearly reciprocating push member (10). This incremental motion pushes a bale out of the press. The mechanism is further designed to cause the carriage member to travel incrementally in reverse once a bale has been ejected. A further feature of the invention is the optional use of formers (108,110) in the floor (5) of the baling press to facilitate easy handling by a forklift of the bales produced.
